SMSVSAM initialization errors

Message IGW414I is issued when the SMSVSAM server initializes successfully.

When initialization is not successful, use the D SMS,SMSVSAM command to gather data that can be used to determine the cause of failure.

You can use Table 1 as a guide to what actions to take for specific initialization problems.

Symptom Action
Server cannot successfully connect to the lock structure, IGWLOCK00. Save the output from the following command: 
     D XCF,STR,STRNAME=IGWLOCK00
Connectivity is not available. If you have another Coupling Facility available, initiate a rebuild to cause the lock structure to become resident in the other lock structure.

If a rebuild cannot be done, SMSVSAM will not initialize until the connectivity problem is resolved.
Waiting for replies from other systems.
  1. Dump the SMSVSAM address spaces from all the systems in the Parallel Sysplex®.
  2. Recycle SMSVSAM address spaces on the systems that have not replied.
Structure does not exist. If possible, modify your policy to allow the lock structure to be defined.

The SMSVSAM address spaces should attempt to reconnect when they are notified that a new policy is in place. If they do not reconnect, you might want to recycle all the servers.
Other problems that occur during initialization. Take a console dump of the SMSVSAM address space on all systems and contact IBM's Customer Support for problem diagnosis.
